Rivian is offering U.S. and Canada-based customers the opportunity to shop available R1T and R1S protected in Stealth at no extra cost,” the company stated.

Rivian’s factory is currently temporary closure until the end of the April for the implementation of new technologies and production methods aimed at substantial cost reduction.

The company’s recent update to the NHTSA’s VIN database reveals preparations for the introduction of a Tri-Motor variant and a new “Premium” trim level for the 2025 version of its model R1S and R1T. This expansion of options accompanies the upcoming release of the 2025 R1S and R1T later this year.

Last week, the company reported 13,980 vehicles produced in the first quarter of the year of which 13,588 were delivered to its customers. Despite having previously guided a 10-15% quarter over quarter drop from the fourth quarter, Rivian is on track and reaffirmed its 2024 production guidance of 57,000 vehicles.
